Newly developed Brembo GT kit for the Ferrari 612. Anyone who is familiar or plays with this car knows that there is almost next to no aftermarket support. Currently we are the only one with this kit

Almost two months in the making, this kit was blueprinted here at Evo Garage. With cooperation from Ferrari, a team from Brembo was then invited to the dealership to gather some final data on the 612. However none of this would have been possible if it weren’t for Melissa over at STILLEN, thank you for making this happen!

Right so now on to the specs of these ferocious brakes.

MORE RARE THAN YOUR DEFINITION OF RARE

Love it, hate it or just plain don’t understand it… The Lancia Hyena is just that.

The floor-pan structure, power unit and foot-work is of the Delta Integrale. Everything else moving upward was designed by the late Marco Pedracini, possibly better known as Zagato to you younger chaps.

The two-door body is made up of composite/alloy, as for the interior, you will find yourself overwhelmed with carbon fiber. Because of this the Hyena is about 200 kilograms lighter than the original Integrale.

This particular Hyena did make a pit stop in Japan before coming home to Canada. The exhaust system and entire foot work department was completely swapped with everything PRESTO JAPAN had to offer.

It’s not something you see everyday, let alone drive one. I had the pleasure of just that this evening. Only 24 of these were ever made, and there is only one in the whole of North America.

TODA light weight pulley kit for the F20C/F22C (AP1/AP2)
Developed to give lighter and sportier engine characteristic. By reducing the overall weight (and inertia) of the 3 pulleys, and by modifying the alternator pulley ratio to take advantage of the more sporty use, the burden on the engine is reduced helping to improve acceleration performance. A standard length belt for the AC kit and shortened belt for the AC less kit is provided. Installing with a new belt is important to help improve the running in process of the new pulleys. A good affinity material is used on the oil seal face of the crank pulley to reduce friction improving sealing and to reduce wear. The hexagon socket design of the original crank pulley is retained so that Honda’s service tool can be used when loosening or tightening the crank pulley bolt.

• Additional scale for checking ignition timing

• 2 pieces structure
A good affinity material is used on the oil seal face of the crank pulley to reduce friction improving sealing and to reduce wear.

• Duralumin A-7075
A hard base material is used the reduce wear increasing longevity of the pulleys and helping to prevent damage such as stone chips.

• Red anodizing (Alumite)
These red anodized pulleys help to enhance the appearance of the engine bay.

This particular kit is made in Japan for all S2000 model years.

The new Copper Fiber Clutch System from Mugen offers substantial performance gains over the OEM unit. In addition to increased performance and durability, this complete kit gives a much more direct feel.

As the name implies, the clutch disk is impregnated with copper; this provides much more stability and friction for high-performance applications. The disc has stiffer springs than OEM, as well as the elimination of the cushioning plate.

The pressure plate is considerably stiffer, and the surface is Mugen’s proprietary steel.

The flywheel is a lightened unit, with a super-durable face.

This kit is an incredible 13.7 lbs. lighter that OEM and reduces spinning inertia by 42%.

Comes complete with: clutch disk, pressure plate, flywheel, pilot bearing, release bearing, and ultra-strong flywheel and pressure plate bolts.

TEIN SUPER STREET COILOVER SUSPENSION INSTALLED

Couple weeks ago a set of Skunk2 Pro S II coilovers were installed on the 2010 Honda Civic Si. Today the same car came back to have the Skunk2 coilovers replaced for a set of TEIN Super Street dampers.

Stability, comfort and control of the vehicle is now discovered from the newly installed TEIN Super Street. This was some how completely lost when Skunk2 developed the Pro S dampers.

TEIN Super Street damper kit was designed for drivers seeking improved handling on the street and at the track. A shortened shell case is utilized to allow the most piston stroke possible, which allows for a better ride at lowered ride heights, and increased grip at the track. Great for daily driving and occasion track use, whether it be at the drag strip, local circuit, or Auto-X course. Includes both ride height and damping force adjustment to allow the driver to dial in the suspension for various surface conditions.
